Chapter 257: Three Gluttons

Bei Feng gently smoothed out the little fox's fur and comforted it in a soothing voice. Only then did it stop the tear which was about to fall from its eyes. At the same time, it began to meep unhappily and point towards Mystic Moon in an accusing manner.
"Petty little thing. It's not like you'll die by letting me touch you a little..."
Mystic Moon pouted and turned around arrogantly as she continued mopping. The detestable bully had threatened not to let her eat if she did not work hard!
Bei Feng shook his head and petted the little fox gently. True, the little fox would certainly not die if it was touched. But the same could hardly be said for the person who touched it...
As for the Human Calamity that was triggered, Bei Feng was not too worried about it. Since the source of the calamity would be humans, everything should be fine as long as he was here.
If it was the Natural Disaster ability, he would have thrown her deep into the mountains long ago.
Bei Feng returned to the kitchen and continued cooking. He first washed a few White River Fruits and placed the grains into the rice pot to steam. After that, he placed some sliced Dark Jade Snowy Dragon King meat into a pot of boiling water.
An intoxicating fragrance slowly drifted out of the kitchen, causing Mystic Moon who was still busy mopping to look up as her nose twitched frantically.
"What a nice smell!"
Mystic Moon began to mop in the direction of the kitchen.
The poor girl had been holed up in the 'womb' of the peach tree for a few thousand years before finally being born. She had never tasted any food before in her life!
The moment the aroma of the Dark Jade Snowy Dragon King meat drifted into her nose, she found that she could not resist at all.
"Not bad, at least you know to come and help me. Go and put these plates on the table first."
The dishes were done by the time Mystic Moon mopped her way over. Bei Feng shiftily dumped a bunch of plates and cutlery into Mystic Moon's hands and avoided contact with her eyes. Without even looking, he knew that she had to be cursing at him in her heart again.
Bei Feng ignored her and began to serve up the rice and meat. By this point, Mystic Moon had become like a person who had lost her soul as she followed behind him like a leech.
After allocating the cutlery accordingly, Bei Feng picked up a few pieces of meat and placed them in his bowl. After that, he turned to look at Mystic Moon with interest.
The poor girl was trying to figure out how to use the chopsticks. At this moment, she was on the verge of throwing the chopsticks away and directly grabbing the food with her hands.
"Kacha!"
As expected, the sturdy pair of chopsticks was snapped in twain by Mystic Moon's clumsy actions. Bei Feng had a constipated expression on his face as he controlled his laughter.
He went back to the kitchen and took another pair of chopsticks for her. Then, he directly grabbed over ten pieces of meat and placed it in her bowl. Only then did he have the mind to eat his own food.
Mystic Moon directly lifted up the bowl and used her chopsticks to push a piece of meat into her mouth. As soon as she bit down on the Dark Jade Snowy Dragon King meat, she knew that it was a taste that she would never forget in her lifetime!
It wasn't that the meat was so delicious as to be unforgettable. But it was her first meal ever since she had been born! This moment was something that she would never be able to forget.
Mystic Moon was born as a Xiantian existence. When it came to eating, one could easily imagine how much she could contain. Within two minutes, her bowl was completely emptied. And this was with her slowing down on purpose to take care of her image!
"Refill the rice bowl for this Empress!"
Mystic Moon lifted her nose into the air and pushed the bowl disdainfully towards Bei Feng.
"Hm you're done? Just nice, help me to fill up this bowl while you're at it."
Bei Feng also pushed his empty bowl towards Mystic Moon.
"No way. You go and refill the rice for this Empress." Mystic Moon snorted coldly. "This is not a chance I give to everyone; you should feel honored!"
"If you don't refill my bowl for me, you can take care of your own meals in the future. Don't look for me," Bei Feng said smugly. 'I'll like to see if you'll submit or not!'
Mystic Moon began grinding her teeth with annoyance again as she stood up huffily and took the bowls.
'Detestable baddy! I hope he chokes to death! How dare he bully this Empress!'
Mystic Moon shoved large spoonfuls of rice into the bowl until it was completely full. When no more rice could fit, she used a spoon to compress the rice further to fit in more.
Bei Feng naturally saw the attitude Mystic Moon was displaying. But even if she were to bring the entire rice pot over, he would not be fazed at all.
Mystic Moon placed the bowl before Bei Feng without saying a word and picked up her own chopsticks to grab some more food.
That's right, in the time that it took her to finish one bowl of rice, Mystic Moon had already learnt to use chopsticks!
A huge plate of Dark Jade Snowy Dragon King meat was quickly picked clean by those two. If any outsiders saw this scene, they would definitely call the ambulance in their fright!
These people were more capable than pigs when it came to eating! Based on their skinny appearance, no one could imagine that they would be so scary when it came to eating!
Bei Feng and Mystic Moon rubbed their bellies with a light sigh as they put down their bowls. "I still feel a little hungry..."
The two exchanged a glance as Bei Feng took out another piece of Dark Jade Snowy Dragon King meat and ate it as sashimi.
Once this fellow started eating, it was as if he did not know the meaning of fullness. Another large plate of sashimi was finished by him alone.
'Great, there's a new mobile meat warehouse around the house now. The rate at which we burn through these Dark Jade Snowy Dragon King meat is going to increase by a fold again!'
Bei Feng felt a headache creeping up his neck. The Cerberus and Mystic Moon... these few would bankrupt him sooner or later!
"Mystic Moon, I'll leave all these to you. Make sure to wash the dishes properly!"
Bei Feng rubbed his tummy and lay back on the chair, not intending to move from there.
"This Empress..."
"You can settle your own meals in the future if you're not willing."
The moment Mystic Moon opened her mouth, he immediately interjected without allowing her a chance to finish her sentence.
Despite handing the dishes to her, Bei Feng still hung around the kitchen and monitored her closely. "Right, that's the way. Put it in the water. Just a little bit will do."
He ended up having to teach her how much dish washing liquid should be used, and how to scrub and clean the plates. After busying themselves for a long time, the dishes were finally done and placed into the disinfecting cabinet.
Mystic Moon tried to lash out in rage numerous times, but her words were shot down each time and strangled at the cradle with the same "You can settle your own meals in the future if you're not willing." sentence.
At noon, Mystic Three arrived with Wang Qin with a bunch of teaching materials.
Mystic Three's eyes nearly popped out of its sockets the moment he saw Mystic Moon.
'Isn't it just a slightly more pretty girl?'
Wang Qin snorted coldly in her heart. The way she saw it, Mystic Moon was simply using her looks to make a living. As compared to herself, she was doing well based on her own abilities! 'But... why am I feeling so much jealousy?!'
Bei Feng walked out of the room with a calm expression on his face. Mystic Three immediately felt extremely guilty and hurriedly lowered his head. He must have gone crazy to even momentarily dare have designs on the boss's girlfriend!
"Teacher Wang, this room will be your classroom from now on." Bei Feng greeted her politely and gestured towards a door.
After that, he led the Cerberus into the new classroom and had Mystic Three standby on the side to wait on them with tea and snacks.
As for Bei Feng, he made his way to the mountain peak and began to practice the Minor Illumination Body Tempering Technique.
This kind of training which resulted in tangible improvements each time was the most intoxicating and addictive feeling. However, the amount of Dark Jade Snowy Dragon King meat required to train in it was extremely high.
An afternoon of training would burn through several hundred jin of the meat! At this rate, his supply of Dark Jade Snowy Dragon King meat would not last for much longer.
He had no way of controlling the Fishing location and if the place really had no Demonic Beasts, he could only accept the situation. Bei Feng could not create something out of nothing anyway.
'Forget it, we'll cross that bridge when we get there. I will eventually manage to catch a few Demonic Beasts anyway.'
Bei Feng was not worried in the slightest. He couldn't possibly be unlucky every single time.
As he practiced again and again, his blood and Qi energy began to grow stronger. It was already making huge strides towards the middle Xiantian realm!
'While we're on the topic, the Minor Illumination Breathing Technique should be about to reach the grand circle of completion soon,' Bei Feng thought with interest. The feeling that a great transformation was about to happen to his body was becoming more and more apparent.
"It should be within these few days," Bei Feng mumbled as he gauged the changes to his body.
He was extremely excited at this point. He should be able to reach the middle Xiantian realm after the transformation!
Right now, he had already reached the peak level of primary Xiantian stage. If he truly wanted to do it through normal means, he would still need another three to six months' time at least!
